  Second wine in a Vino Volo Cabernet tasting flight (only Cab Franc). I actually ordered the flight for this wine and was not disappointed. A bit austere on opening, it came together with a bit more swirling in the glass. There's a definite brambles note here and more of the woodsy side, but also a nice fruit (the tasting notes claim cranberry and I'm not opposed to that designation) that pokes through with some time in the glass. Prob my favorite of the group.

  light purple hue and clear rim comes with strong herbal and green elements balance by ripe fruit and enough tannin at the back end to cleanse the palate. Ultimately, very refreshing and food freindly wine
